What are the odds that this douchebag will get bail? Keep him in jail until his trial to serve as an example to others that drink and drive. He's already proven that he can't follow restrictions imposed against him.

Screw impounding, he was driving illegally. Sell the vehicle at auction and donate the funds to a charity.
